The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Weber also was sentenced to 15 years on each of three counts of sexual abuse of a minor.

Weber was sentenced last year to 18 years in prison for similar crimes against boys on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana.

Weber also was ordered to pay $800,000 in fines.
